We are delighted to announce "Stutterer", written and directed by LFS MA Screenwriting alumnus Benjamin Cleary, has won an Irish Film & Television Academy Award for Best Short Film. The fantastic news comes after the film won the 88th Academy Award for Best Live Action Short earlier this year.
The Film tells the story of a typographer with a speech impediment finds comfort and connection in an online relationship. Now, however, he is faced with the prospect of meeting his online paramour in the flesh, and revealing the truth about himself. The film stars Matthew Needham (Casualty), Chloe Pirrie (Shell), and Eric Richard (The Bill).
